Bieber charged with assault

Justin Bieber’s run-ins with the law have continued, this time much closer to home.

The Baby singer – whose sudden rise to fame from busking on local streets to international pop icon is well documented – is facing charges of dangerous driving and assault following an altercation east of Stratford on Friday, Aug. 29.

Shortly before 3 p.m. Perth County OPP responded to a collision between a minivan and an ATV on Line 40 east of Road 106 in Perth East. After the crash police say the driver of the ATV and an occupant in the minivan engaged in an altercation.

Bieber, 20, was released on a promise to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Stratford on Sept. 29 to answer to the charges. Police list his place of residence as Calabasis, California.
